How Do We Get Some Changes? Poem by James Bredin

How Do We Get Some Changes?



Our politicians go up to Ottawa to hide out and pretend,
But nothing changes and Canadians still can’t comprehend,
Because we don’t have recall or mid term or set-date elections,
Less than half bother to vote for democratic corrections.

No binding referendums or propositions are allowed,
No assisted suicide like the Swiss and we have to feel proud,
No plebiscites or proportional representation so take notes,
It’s first-past-the post though the opposition can have more votes.

No mid term elections because we don’t have a mid term,
We have Trudeau’s Charter which refugees and terrorists affirm,
Though the UN banned us from their Security Council station,
They seem to look at Canada as a sleep walking nation.
